Mara Laser is a business company that for 30 years and more has been analyzing, making and marketing laser and GPS controlled levellers, calling on buyers in about 30 nations all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can get to important results in many areas of utility: from agricultural soil to sport courts, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to soil scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of returns and high capacity in more than one situations: from the machine functioning velocity, to a total trustworthiness and certainty of the result.
Mara’s technology
The technology used by Mara is what makes it unbeatable, and the results acquired all over the world witness this. Laser and GPS receiver technologies provide an unique performance, in particular when they are used together.
Laser technology
Laser technology is applied to the levellers in a way that without stopping synchronize the height of the blade.
The leveller, the laser beam transmitter and the laser beam receiver are the elements of the laser control system for levelling.
The transmitter is placed on a tripod that sees the natural gradient of the land and communicates the signal to the receiver, which is instead put on the machine itself.
The laser beam, as it is one of its internal characteristics, permits very high preciseness even over long sections of land. After getting the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, put on these machines, returns an ideal pianification for the leveller to follow while functioning.
The receiver also has an important role, because it correctly reads the laser light received from the transmitter, through special photodiodes. The receivers, made by Mara Laser, guarantee the levellers will be able to work on any type fo ground and receive the 360° signal, even though it could be poor or experiences interference.
On the leveller, also, there is a control system to remove external interference. It cuts wind sound, automatically intercepts the signal and regulates the power of the tractor.
GPS receiver technology
GPS technology, however, is used to settle the position of the leveller and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that implement this technology, perceive the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the pianification is illustrated by the signal and reproduced on the land.
Nowadays, thanks to technological progress and the use of dedicated software, an accuracy of ± 10 mm has been obtained, even though this technology offers less accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations as it is one of the periodic change of constellation of the satellites.
In any case, the less preciseness is compensated by the wide adaptability of use, in particular when this technology is used to work on large land sections with more than one inclinations, such as agricultural soil and building constructions.
Integrated laser + GPS system
Mara Laser has created and made an integrated system that connects the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, the right one for tough land.
The higher preciseness of the laser signal shows the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the place of the leveller. Thus, the Mara system can settle the height of the tractor leveller and the place of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the land permits to highlight the land sections that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the point where to start, and the best way that allows to do the greatest job possible, with both the tractor and the leveller in the right position.
Thus, the operator will have immediate instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.
Fields of application
The important preciseness and adaptability of the levellers made by Mara Laser assure their use in more than one areas:
- Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
Mara’s laser levellers, among the many plus assure a important increase of the arable land sections. They enable a reduction in the amount of water used, they can provide more abundant harvest, a considerable reduction of chemicals used, as well as seeds. The decrease in work times, moreover, makes the use of these machines a sure investment. - Laser levelling machines for construction:
Mara Laser gives a perfect precision to obtain ground floors with very contained deflections (max 4 mm) and to remove cavities and gaps that would, later, be filled with concrete. The decrease of work times and the possibility of obtaining a perfect slope for water to flow down, are other plus that make these machines priceless and incomparable in this areas. - Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
the fine performance of the Mara levellers permits to move large quantity of soil very quickly and with low power. In this way, shorter work times, lower costs and greater preciseness in creating the horizontal plan and gradient, are reached. - Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
this type of technology can be used very well in this field as it enables to level even existing areas, repairing slope without replacing the lawn. - Laser levelling machines for greenhouses:
thanks to the preciseness, contained size and easy handling of Mara levellers, it is also feasible to work for the maintenance of green spaces. In this way, the right gradient and also a fabulous aesthetic result are assured. - Laser grader machines for roads:
in this field, important results are reached thanks to the capacity of the Mara’s laser graders to perform the same job as the motor grader, with less costs and more convenient times. In addition, there are important plus, for example specialized labor is no longer necessary, on top to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
