This paper gives an overview on the state-of-the-art in remote laser applications with high power disk lasers. Remote welding and cutting applications unlock significant improvements in cycle time and equipment utilization compared with conventional methods. The main contribution comes from the virtually instantaneous positioning of the laser beam between two geometries. Most current welding application in automotive car body and subassembly are shown. The examples highlight the presented benefits of remote application. An overview is also given about remote cutting; two distinctly different cutting processes are presented and discussed. Examples for combined utilization of remote welding and remote cutting are given.
