Mara Laser is a business company that for 30 years and more has been examining, producing and trading laser and GPS controlled laser levellers, calling on buyers in about 30 states everywhere in the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can reach outstanding results in different areas of use: from agricoltural ground to sport courts, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to ground scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of advantages and high capacity in more than one situations: from the machine operating 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 obtained all over the world are proof of this. Laser and GPS system technologies provide an unique performance, mostly when they are combined.
Laser technology
Laser technology is applied to the levellers in a way that without stopping synchronize the height of the blade.
The laser levelling machine, the laser beam transmitter and the laser beam receiver are parts of the laser control system for levelling.
The transmitter is positioned on a tripod that examines the natural inclination of the land and communicates the signal to the receiver, which is instead located on the machine itself.
The laser beam, for its own characteristics, enables very high preciseness even over long land portions. After obtaining the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, located on these machines, returns an ideal pianification for the leveller to follow while operating.
The receiver also plays a very important part, 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 kind of ground and receive the 360° signal, though it could be poor or it goes through interference.
On the laser levelling machine, besides, there is a control system to remove external interference. It decreases wind rumble, automatically reaches the signal and sets the power of the tractor.
GPS system technology
GPS technology, after all, is used to settle the position of the laser levelling machine and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that adopt this technology, perceive the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the pianification is defined by the signal and reproduced on the land.
Lately, thanks to technological progress and the use of dedicated software, an accuracy of ± 10 mm has been obtained, even though this technology offers poorer accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations for the periodic change of constellation of the satellites.
In any case, the poorer preciseness is compensated by the wide adaptability of use, mostly when this technology is used to work on large land portions with more than one inclinations, such as agricoltural ground and building constructions.
Integrated laser + GPS system
Mara Laser has created and made an integrated system that adds the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, proper for harsh land.
The higher preciseness of the laser signal lays out the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the location of the leveller. Therefor, the Mara system can settle the height of the tractor leveller and the location of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the land enables to highlight the land portions that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the starting point, and the best route that allows to make the best work possible, with both the tractor and the leveller in the right position.
Therefor, the operator will have immediate instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.
Fields of application
The outstanding preciseness and adaptability of the levellers made by Mara Laser assure their use in more than one fields:
- Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
Mara’s laser levellers, among the different conveniences assure a important increase of the arable land portions. They permits a reduction in the amount of water used, an increased production, a less use of chemicals, as well as seeds. The decrease in work hours, furthermore, makes the use of these machines a sure investment. - Laser levelling machines for construction:
Mara Laser provides an absolute perfect precision to obtain ground floors with very reduced deflections (max 4 mm) and to remove cavities and gaps that would, afterwords, be filled with concrete. The decrease of work hours and the possibility of obtaining an absolute perfect inclinatoin for water to flow down, are other conveniences that make these machines incomparable and priceless in this fields. - Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
the superbe performance of the Mara levellers enables to move large amount of soil very quickly and with low power. In this way, shorter work hours, lower costs and greater preciseness in creating the horizontal plan and inclination, are gained. - Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
this type of technology can be used very well in this area as it enables to level even existing areas, repairing slope without replacing the lawn. - Laser levelling machines for greenhouses:
thanks to the preciseness, reduced size and easy handling of Mara laser levellers, it is also doable to work for the maintenance of green spaces. In this way, the right inclination and also a great aesthetic result are secured. - Laser grader machines for roads:
in this area, important results are gained thanks to the capacity of the Mara’s laser graders to perform the same job as the motor grader, with poorer costs and more convenient times. In addition, there are important conveniences, for example specialized labor is no longer necessary, besides to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
