In the November 1996 Communicator Quickmill featured a story on Caterpillar and their Aurora Illinois manufacturing plant. The Aurora plant is still the third-largest Caterpillar facility, covering more than 370 acres – with nearly 100 acres under the roofs of the four main buildings. 3100 employees design and produce wheel loaders, excavators, front shovel, and power-train components for domestic and foreign markets in this facility.

There are many trends happening in gantry milling these days including custom fixturing, larger and larger bed sizes and, as is the case with all machine tools, innovative tooling solutions.

The questions are simple. The answers, however, are far more complex.
