Mara Laser is a business company that for 30 years and more has been analyzing, producing and trading laser and GPS controlled laser levelling machines, calling on buyers in about 30 states all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can get to considerable results in different areas of use: from agricoltural ground to sport courts, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to soil scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of advantages and high productivity in more than one situations: from the machine running speed regime, to a total affidability and assurance of the result.
Mara’s technology
The technology used by Mara is what makes it unbeatable, and the results obtained all over the world testify this. Laser and GPS system technologies provide an unrivaled performance, in particular when they are combined.
Laser technology
Laser technology is applied to the levellers in a way that continually synchronize the height of the blade.
The laser 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 observes the natural tilt of the land and sends the signal to the receiver, which is instead put on the machine itself.
The laser beam, beacuse of its own characteristics, enables very high accuracy even over long land portions. After picking up the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, put on these machines, gives back an ideal planning for the leveller to follow while running.
The receiver also has an important role, because it correctly reads the laser light received from the transmitter, through special photodiodes. The receivers, manufactured by Mara Laser, guarantee the levellers will be able to work on any kind of soil and receive the 360° signal, even though it could be poor or it goes through interference.
On the laser leveller, besides, there is a control system to annul external interference. It lowers wind rumble, automatically captures the signal and regulates the power of the tractor.
GPS system technology
GPS technology, after all, is used to settle the position of the laser leveller and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that implement this technology, obtain the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the planning is illustrated by the signal and reproduced on the land.
Nowadays, thanks to technological advancement and the use of dedicated software, an accuracy of ± 10 mm has been reached up, even though this technology offers less accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations beacuse of the periodic change of constellation of the satellites.
In any case, the less accuracy is compensated by the wide elasticity of use, in particular when this technology is used to work on large parts with more than one inclinations, such as agricoltural ground and building constructions.
Integrated laser + GPS system
Mara Laser has created and manufactured an integrated system that connects the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, suitable for harsh land.
The higher accuracy of the laser signal represents 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 enables to highlight the parts that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the point where to start, and the best route that allows to do the greatest job possible, with both the tractor and the leveller in the right position.
Thus, the operator will have prompt instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.
Fields of application
The considerable accuracy and elasticity of the levellers manufactured by Mara Laser secure their use in more than one fields:
- Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
Mara’s laser levellers, among the different benefits secure a key increase of the arable parts. They enable a reduction in the amount of water used, they can provide more abundant harvest, a less use of chemicals, as well as seeds. The lowering in work times, furthermore, makes the use of these machines a sure investment. - Laser levelling machines for construction:
Mara Laser gives an absolute perfect precision to obtain ground floors with very reduced deflections (max 4 mm) and to annul cavities and gaps that would, later, be filled with concrete. The lowering of work times and the possibility of obtaining an absolute perfect slope for water to flow down, are other benefits that make these machines worthy and incomparable in this fields. - Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
the fine performance of the Mara levellers enables to move large amount of soil very quickly and with low power. In this way, shorter work times, lower costs and greater accuracy in creating the horizontal plan and tilt, are reached. - 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 accuracy, reduced size and easy handling of Mara laser levelling machines, it is also feasible to work for the maintenance of green spaces. In this way, the right tilt and also a fabulous aesthetic result are secured. - Laser grader machines for roads:
in this area, 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 key benefits, for example specialized labor is no longer necessary, besides to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
