A cnc lathe can manufacture nearly anything cylindrical. Some even have attachments to do other types of work in the machine as well, for a virtually endless array of parts. Whatever you can imagine really, as long as it will fit in the machine.
The two axises used on a CNC lathe are:X - CrossZ - Longitudinal

VTL = Vertical Turret Lathe with computer numerical control (CNC)
2-Axis CNC machining refers to a CNC lathe which only needs two axises, X and Z, to perform its function.
It makes round things.
I would check with the manufacturer of the CNC lathe. So many CNC machines are custom products that sometimes the manufacturer is the only one that can provide parts. You can get parts through http://www.machinetools.net.tw/parts/e-catalog-420-597.htm They have online catalogs of parts.
X and Z axis, no Y axis
Harrison Lathe is a UK based company which manufactures comprehensive lathe machines. It sells Conventional (engine) Lathes. They also sell Manual or CNC Lathes.
The main difference is the following: On a CNC Lathe the material to be worked is held in a chuck and rotated around and the tools are clamped. These tools are then moved against the rotating material to cut into it. On a CNC Mill the tools are held in a chuck and rotated around and the material to be worked is clamped. These tools are then moved against the stationary material to cut into it.
When a company manufactures products in small batches, a CNC Lathe machine can help them produce a few products at a time rather than several at a time.
A computer numerically controlled lathe and a computer numerically controlled milling machine differ primarily in their core operations and the kinds of parts they can create. To make pieces like shafts and rings that are both cylindrical and symmetrical, a CNC lathe primarily rotates the workpiece while cutting tools remove material. However, computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines can create more complex forms and features like slots, holes, and curves by using revolving cutting tools to remove material from a fixed workpiece. While CNC lathes excel at generating very precise circular components, CNC milling machines offer greater freedom for producing three-dimensional parts.
Tails tock sleeves are used on CNC lathes. It is the equivalent to a tail stock quill on a center lathe but in this case it uses hydraulic pressure to move it in and out of the tail stock. The function of both tail stock sleeve or quill is to clamp the workpiece by means of a center that is inserted into the sleeve or quill. On a center lathe it is used for drilling also but not on a CNC lathe.
