Mara Laser is a business company that for over 30 years has been analyzing, making and trading laser and GPS controlled laser levellers, turning towards buyers in about 30 states all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can get to significant results in many areas of use: from agricoltural ground to sportsground, 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 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 unrivaled 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 laser levelling machine, 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 sees the natural gradient of the land and sends the signal to the receiver, which is instead mounted on the machine itself.
The laser beam, as it is one of its own characteristics, permits very high accuracy even over long land portions. After picking up the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, mounted on these machines, gives back an ideal planning for the leveller to follow while operating.
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 kind of soil and receive the 360° signal, though it could be poor or it is subjected to interference.
On the laser levelling machine, besides, there is a control system to remove external interference. It decreases wind rumble, automatically intercepts the signal and sets the power of the tractor.
GPS receiver 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 planning is represented 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 as it is one 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 land sections 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 accuracy of the laser signal shows the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the location of the leveller. Hence, 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 permits to highlight the land sections that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the section where to begin, 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 prompt instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.
Fields of application
The significant accuracy and elasticity of the levellers made by Mara Laser ensure their use in more than one fields:
- Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
Mara’s laser levellers, among the many benefits ensure a important increase of the arable land sections. They permits a reduction in the amount of water used, an increased production, a considerable reduction of chemicals used, 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 an absolute 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 lowering of work hours 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 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 gained. - Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
this type of technology can be utilized very well in this field as it makes possible to level even existing areas, 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 ensured. - Laser grader machines for roads:
in this field, important results are gained thanks to the skills 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 important benefits, for example specialized labor is no longer needed, on top to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
