Mara - Niveladoras Laser

Laser levelling machine for agricultural soil

Mara Laser is a business activity that for 30 years and more has been examining, making and marketing laser and GPS controlled laser levellers, turning towards clients in about 30 nations all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can get to significant results in different areas of utility: from agricultural soil to sport facilities, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to ground scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of returns and high productivity in more than one situations: from the machine running velocity, 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 are proof of this. Laser and GPS system technologies give an unrivaled performance, mostly when they are combined.

Laser technology

Laser technology is applied to the levellers in a way that without stopping synchronize the height of the blade.
The leveller, the laser beam transmitter and the laser beam receiver are the elements of the laser control system for levelling.
The transmitter is located on a tripod that examines the natural tilt of the soil and communicates the signal to the receiver, which is instead mounted on the machine itself.
The laser beam, for its internal characteristics, enables very high preciseness even over long land portions. After picking up the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, mounted on these machines, returns an ideal pianification 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 move on any kind of ground and receive the 360° signal, though it could be low or it goes through interference.
On the leveller, besides, there is a control system to remove external interference. It lowers wind rumble, automatically captures the signal and settles the power of the tractor.

GPS system technology

GPS technology, however, is used to set the position of the 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 pianification is defined 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 reached up, even though this technology offers poorer accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations for the periodic change of constellation of the satellites.
In any case, the poorer preciseness is compensated by the wide elasticity of use, mostly when this technology is used to work on large parts 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 connects the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, perfect for harsh 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. Therefor, the Mara system can set the height of the tractor leveller and the place of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the soil 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.
Therefor, the operator will have prompt instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.

Fields of application

The significant preciseness and elasticity of the levellers manufactured by Mara Laser assure their use in more than one fields:

  • Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
    Mara’s laser levellers, among the different conveniences assure a important increase of the arable parts. They enable a reduction in the amount of water used, an increased production, a considerable reduction of chemicals used, as well as seeds. The decrease in work times, 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 contained deflections (max 4 mm) and to remove cavities and gaps that would, later, be filled with concrete. The decrease of work times 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 first-rate performance of the Mara levellers enables to move large quantity of soil very quickly and with low power. In this way, shorter work times, lower costs and greater preciseness in creating the horizontal plan and tilt, are gained.
  • Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
    this type of technology can be used very well in this field as it enables to level even existing areas, repairing slope without replacing the lawn.
  • Laser levelling machines for greenhouses:
    thanks to the preciseness, contained size and easy handling of Mara laser levellers, 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 assured.
  • 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 poorer costs and more convenient times. In addition, there are important conveniences, for example specialized labor is no longer necessary, besides to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
