This paper presents a new solution procedure for an integrated thermo-dynamic spindle model and validation results. Based on the model presented in Part 1 of this paper, a computer program has been developed to generate comprehensive solutions for high speed spindle-bearing systems, such as bearing stiffness, contact load and temperature, spindle dynamic characteristics and response, temperature distributions, and thermal expansions. The model and the solution procedure are modular such that solutions for different spindle set-ups can be easily generated by combining a given spindle model with different toolholder models. Validation test results for thermal and dynamic predictions are presented for four different spindle systems, including the thermal and dynamic validation tests on a specially constructed spindle testbed. The validation results show the model has accurate predictive capabilities for a wide range of operating conditions and various spindle designs.
