Remote processing is known as a new trend to increase the productivity of production processes. Typical remote applications are not only laser welding of metals. Also the field of metal and non metal cutting and welding are well suited for remote processing. Within this presentation new industrial proven solutions will be described, using high speed beam deflection systems and classical Cartesian axes systems. The new system technology enables to realize cutting speeds up to 5 m/s for non-metals or contour cuts of thin metal sheets up to 60 m/min. In combination with specially adapted motion planning tools the production lines work in a flexible, efficient and stable manner.
