Mara - Niveladoras Laser

Used leveller blade for agricultural soil

Mara Laser is a business activity that for over 30 years has been examining, producing and marketing laser and GPS controlled levellers, calling on clients in about 30 states all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can reach outstanding results in many sectors of use: from agricoltural ground to sport courts, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to soil scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of advantages and high productivity in more than one situations: from the machine operating velocity, to a total affidability and guarantee of the final success.

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 system technologies provide an unrivaled performance, in particular 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 parts of the laser control system for levelling.
The transmitter is positioned on a tripod that sees the natural tilt 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, permits very high preciseness even over long land portions. After getting the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, mounted 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, made by Mara Laser, guarantee the levellers will be able to work on any kind of ground and receive the 360° signal, though it could be poor or it is subjected to interference.
On the leveller, besides, there is a control system to annul external interference. It decreases wind rumble, automatically reaches the signal and settles the power of the tractor.

GPS system technology

GPS technology, after all, is used to set the position of the leveller and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that adopt this technology, perceive the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the planning is illustrated 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 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 preciseness is compensated by the wide adaptability 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, perfect 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. Hence, the Mara system can set the height of the tractor leveller and the location of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the soil permits to highlight the land sections that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the section where to begin, and the best way that enables 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 outstanding preciseness and adaptability of the levellers made by Mara Laser assure their use in more than one areas:

  • Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
    Mara’s laser levellers, among the many benefits assure a important increase of the arable land sections. 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 an absolute perfect precision to obtain ground floors with very contained deflections (max 4 mm) and to annul 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 incomparable and priceless in this areas.
  • Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
    the superbe performance of the Mara levellers permits 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 tilt, are attained.
  • Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
    this type of technology can be utilized very well in this field as it enables to level even existing sectors, repairing soil depressions without replacing the lawn.
  • Laser levelling machines for greenhouses:
    thanks to the preciseness, contained size and easy handling of Mara levellers, it is also feasible to work for the maintenance of green spaces. In this way, the right tilt and also a great aesthetic result are ensured.
  • Laser grader machines for roads:
    in this field, important results are attained 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 necessary, besides to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
