Abstract
In this paper the developments in remote laser material processing with highly brilliant laser beam sources are reviewed. Its history and the system technologies, i.e. laser beam sources and optical components, are presented. The remote laser beam welding and the two remote laser beam cutting processes as well as current research topics and application areas are described. Finally, the impact of the remote technologies on the industrial production is discussed.
