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 get to significant results in different sectors of utility: from agricultural soil to sport facilities, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to soil scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of returns and high productivity in more than one situations: from the machine operating speed regime, to a total affidability and guarantee of the final success.
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 give an unrivaled performance, in particular when they are used together.
Laser technology
Laser technology is applied to the levellers in a way that continually synchronize the height of the blade.
The laser levelling machine, 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 gradient of the land and communicates the signal to the receiver, which is instead positioned on the machine itself.
The laser beam, for its own characteristics, permits very high accuracy even over long land portions. After getting the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, positioned on these machines, gives back an ideal program 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, manufactured by Mara Laser, guarantee the levellers will be able to work on any kind of soil and receive the 360° signal, even if it could be poor or it is subjected to interference.
On the laser levelling machine, moreover, there is a control system to annul external interference. It lowers wind sound, automatically captures the signal and settles 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 implement this technology, obtain the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the program is represented 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 less accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations for 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 land portions with more than one inclinations, such as agricultural soil and building constructions.
Integrated laser + GPS system
Mara Laser has produced and manufactured an integrated system that adds the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, suitable for tough land.
The higher accuracy of the laser signal represents the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the precise spot of the leveller. Hence, the Mara system can settle the height of the tractor leveller and the precise spot of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the land permits to highlight the land portions that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the starting point, and the best route that allows to do the greatest job possible, with both the tractor and the leveller in the right position.
Hence, the operator will have instant instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.
Fields of application
The significant accuracy and elasticity of the levellers manufactured by Mara Laser ensure their use in more than one areas:
- Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
Mara’s laser levellers, among the different conveniences ensure a key 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, 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 annul cavities and gaps that would, afterwords, be filled with concrete. The decrease 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 incomparable in this areas. - Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
the superbe performance of the Mara levellers permits to move large quantity of soil very quickly and with low power. In this way, shorter work hours, lower costs and greater accuracy in creating the horizontal plan and gradient, are achieved. - Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
this type of technology can be utilized very well in this area as it enables to level even existing sectors, repairing slope without replacing the lawn. - Laser levelling machines for greenhouses:
thanks to the accuracy, contained 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 gradient and also a fabulous aesthetic result are secured. - Laser grader machines for roads:
in this area, important results are achieved thanks to the capability of the Mara’s laser graders to provide the same job as the motor grader, with less costs and more convenient times. In addition, there are key conveniences, for example specialized labor is no longer necessary, on top to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
