Mara - Niveladoras Laser

Laser leveller blades for roads

Mara Laser is a business company that for over 30 years has been analyzing, producing and marketing laser and GPS controlled laser levellers, turning towards clients in about 30 states all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can get to important results in different sectors 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 returns and high productivity in various situations: from the machine operating speed regime, to a total trustworthiness and assurance of the result.

Mara’s technology

The technology used by Mara is what makes it unique, and the results acquired all over the world witness this. Laser and GPS receiver technologies provide an unique 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 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 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, beacuse of its own characteristics, enables very high accuracy even over long sections of land. After getting the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, located on these machines, gives back an ideal program 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 move 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 leveller, moreover, there is a control system to remove external interference. It decreases wind sound, automatically reaches the signal and regulates the power of the tractor.

GPS receiver technology

GPS technology, however, is used to set the position of the laser leveller and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that adopt this technology, get the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the program 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 obtained, even though this technology offers minor accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations beacuse of the periodic change of constellation of the satellites.
In any case, the minor accuracy 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 connects the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, proper for tough land.
The higher accuracy of the laser signal lays out the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the precise spot of the leveller. Thus, the Mara system can set the height of the tractor leveller and the precise spot 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 enables 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 important accuracy and adaptability of the levellers made by Mara Laser assure their use in various fields:

  • Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
    Mara’s laser levellers, among the different benefits assure a important increase of the arable land portions. They enable 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 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 decrease 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 priceless in this fields.
  • Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
    the fine performance of the Mara levellers enables 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 inclination, 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 sectors, repairing soil depressions 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 inclination and also a fabulous aesthetic result are ensured.
  • Laser grader machines for roads:
    in this field, important results are gained thanks to the capacity of the Mara’s laser graders to provide the same job as the motor grader, with minor costs and more convenient times. In addition, there are important benefits, for example specialized labor is no longer needed, besides to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
