Mara - Livellatrici Laser

Leveller blade for roads

Mara Laser is a business activity that for over 30 years has been examining, producing and marketing laser and GPS controlled levellers, turning towards clients in about 30 nations all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, it is feasible to achieve considerable results in many sectors of utility: from agricoltural ground to sportsground, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to soil scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of advantages and high capacity in various situations: from the machine running speed regime, to a total affidability and certainty of the result.

Mara’s technology

The technology used by Mara is what makes it unique, and the results obtained all over the world testify this. Laser and GPS receiver technologies give an unique 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 parts of the laser control system for levelling.
The transmitter is put on a tripod that observes the natural tilt of the soil and sends the signal to the receiver, which is instead located on the machine itself.
The laser beam, for its own characteristics, permits very high preciseness even over long land portions. After picking up the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, located on these machines, returns an ideal program 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, made by Mara Laser, guarantee the levellers will be able to work on any type fo ground and receive the 360° signal, even if 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 sound, automatically intercepts the signal and sets the power of the tractor.

GPS receiver technology

GPS technology, however, is used to settle the position of the laser leveller and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that adopt this technology, obtain the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the program is illustrated by the signal and reproduced on the soil.
Lately, thanks to technological advancement and the use of dedicated software, an accuracy of ± 10 mm has been obtained, even though this technology offers minor accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations for the periodic change of constellation of the satellites.
In any case, the minor preciseness is compensated by the wide adaptability of use, in particular when this technology is used to work on large land portions with various inclinations, such as agricoltural ground and building constructions.

Integrated laser + GPS system

Mara Laser has created and made an integrated system that matches the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, proper for tough soil.
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. Hence, 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 soil permits to highlight the land portions that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the section where to begin, and the best way that allows to do the greatest job possible, with both the tractor and the leveller in the right position.
Hence, the operator will have prompt instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.

Fields of application

The considerable preciseness and adaptability of the levellers made by Mara Laser ensure their use in various fields:

  • Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
    Mara’s laser levellers, among the many conveniences ensure a key increase of the arable land portions. They permits 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 hours, furthermore, makes the use of these machines a sure investment.
  • Laser levelling machines for construction:
    Mara Laser provides a 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 hours and the possibility of obtaining a 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 permits 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 tilt, are achieved.
  • Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
    this type of technology can be utilized very well in this field as it enables to level even existing sectors, repairing slope without replacing the lawn.
  • Laser levelling machines for greenhouses:
    thanks to the preciseness, reduced size and easy handling of Mara levellers, it is also doable to work for the maintenance of green spaces. In this way, the right tilt and also a great aesthetic result are ensured.
  • Laser grader machines for roads:
    in this field, important results are achieved thanks to the capability of the Mara’s laser graders to perform the same job as the motor grader, with minor costs and more convenient times. In addition, there are key conveniences, for example specialized labor is no longer necessary, besides to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
