Mara - Niveladoras Laser

Laser levelling machines for greenhouses and landscaping

Mara Laser is a business activity that for over 30 years has been examining, making and marketing laser and GPS controlled laser levelling machines, 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 many sectors of use: from agricultural soil to sport facilities, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to soil scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of advantages and high productivity in various 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 acquired all over the world witness 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 continually 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 located on a tripod that observes the natural gradient of the soil and communicates the signal to the receiver, which is instead mounted on the machine itself.
The laser beam, beacuse of its internal characteristics, enables very high preciseness even over long sections of land. 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 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 move on any type fo ground 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 cuts wind rumble, automatically captures the signal and settles the power of the tractor.

GPS receiver technology

GPS technology, after all, is used to regulate the position of the laser leveller and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that implement this technology, perceive the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the pianification is defined by the signal and reproduced on the soil.
Nowadays, thanks to technological progress and the use of dedicated software, an accuracy of ± 10 mm has been obtained, even though this technology offers poorer accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations beacuse of the periodic change of constellation of the satellites.
In any case, the poorer 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 agricultural soil and building constructions.

Integrated laser + GPS system

Mara Laser has created and manufactured an integrated system that adds the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, suitable for tough soil.
The higher preciseness of the laser signal lays out the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the location of the leveller. Thus, the Mara system can regulate the height of the tractor leveller and the location of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the soil enables to highlight the land portions 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.
Thus, the operator will have prompt instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.

Fields of application

The important preciseness and adaptability of the levellers manufactured by Mara Laser secure their use in various areas:

  • Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
    Mara’s laser levellers, among the many benefits secure a important increase of the arable land portions. They enable a reduction in the amount of water used, they can provide more abundant harvest, a considerable reduction of chemicals used, as well as seeds. The lowering 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 reduced 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 a perfect slope for water to flow down, are other benefits that make these machines incomparable and incomparable in this areas.
  • Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
    the first-rate performance of the Mara levellers enables 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 gradient, are attained.
  • Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
    this type of technology can be used very well in this field as it makes possible 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 laser levelling machines, it is also feasible to work for the maintenance of green spaces. In this way, the right gradient and also a great aesthetic result are secured.
  • Laser grader machines for roads:
    in this field, important results are attained thanks to the skills 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 benefits, for example specialized labor is no longer needed, besides to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
