Mara - Niveladoras Laser

Used laser leveller blades for agricultural soil

Mara Laser is a business activity that for 30 years and more has been examining, producing and marketing 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 considerable results in different areas of use: from agricoltural ground to sport facilities, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to ground scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of advantages and high productivity in various situations: from the machine operating speed regime, 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 testify 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 continually 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 placed on a tripod that observes the natural gradient of the land and sends the signal to the receiver, which is instead put on the machine itself.
The laser beam, beacuse of its own characteristics, enables very high accuracy even over long land portions. After picking up the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, put on these machines, returns an ideal planning 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, though it could be poor or experiences interference.
On the laser levelling machine, also, there is a control system to annul external interference. It lowers wind sound, automatically captures the signal and regulates the power of the tractor.

GPS receiver technology

GPS technology, however, is used to set the position of the laser levelling machine and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that adopt this technology, get the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the planning is defined 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 reached up, even though this technology offers less accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations beacuse 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 portions with various inclinations, such as agricoltural ground and building constructions.

Integrated laser + GPS system

Mara Laser has created and manufactured an integrated system that connects the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, perfect 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. 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 point where to start, and the best way that enables to make the best work 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 considerable accuracy and elasticity of the levellers manufactured by Mara Laser ensure their use in various areas:

  • Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
    Mara’s laser levellers, among the different plus ensure a key 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, 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 annul cavities and gaps that would, afterwords, be filled with concrete. The decrease of work hours and the possibility of obtaining a perfect slope for water to flow down, are other plus that make these machines worthy and priceless in this areas.
  • 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 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 area 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 great aesthetic result are assured.
  • Laser grader machines for roads:
    in this area, important results are gained thanks to the skills of the Mara’s laser graders to perform the same job as the motor grader, with less costs and more convenient times. In addition, there are key plus, for example specialized labor is no longer needed, besides to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
