This component is a highlight of our welding technology portfolio, offering the highest level of reliability and performance in the body repair industry.
Important Note: This product is a custom-made item. Please note that the possibility of exchange and return for custom-made products is limited.
The C-Arm No. 8 is a robust, water-cooled C-arm, an essential tool for high-precision resistance spot welding tasks. The unit includes one electrode and 16 mm diameter electrode tips, ensuring an efficient and stable welding process.
C-arms are crucial accessories for Wielander + Schill resistance spot welding systems, enabling access to weld spots even in areas where conventional welding guns cannot reach. Water cooling ensures maximum electrode life and continuous operation under high load, minimizing the risk of overheating.
This specific model, with a working block size of 290 x 760 mm, is an ideal choice for welding larger or less accessible body parts, where extensive reach and bridging long distances are critical.
The C-Arm No. 8 consists of precisely engineered components that guarantee long service life and excellent mechanical stability.

The selection of materials used in the construction of the C-arm serves maximum performance and durability:
Alu / Aluminum: For lightweight structure and good thermal conductivity.
CuCrZr (Copper-Chromium-Zirconium): The critical material for electrode tips and conductive parts, providing excellent electrical conductivity and high heat resistance at the weld spot.
Rubber: For vibration damping and insulation.
Stainless Steel and Steel: To ensure the strength and rigidity of structural components.
The C-Gun No. 8 offers the following advantages to users:
Extended Working Area: The 290 x 760 mm window allows for the effective spot welding of hard-to-reach, large body parts, such as door frames, roof panels, or underbody sections.
Excellent Cooling Efficiency: The water-cooling system significantly reduces electrode tip wear and heat load, resulting in longer service life and consistent weld quality. This is particularly important during high-volume repair jobs.
Compatibility: The C-guns are generally compatible with the appropriate resistance spot welding machines, ensuring full functionality of the automatic mode (where supported by the machine).
Robust Construction: The use of different high-strength metals ensures the arm withstands the intense demands of daily workshop work.
Resistance spot welding is a fundamental technology in modern vehicle repair, especially for joining steel and certain aluminum alloys. The specific design of C-guns ensures that the welding current and optimal pressure reach the precise desired point, even when access is restricted.
The C-Gun No. 8 is the ideal choice in situations where standard straight or angled arms are insufficient to reach the workpiece. The 760 mm extension gives the operator great flexibility during operation.
The C-Gun No. 8 is part of Wielander + Schill's extensive C-gun offering. Other members of the product line feature different dimensions and special functions that complement the capabilities of the No. 8 model:
C-Gun No. 9 (120 × 250 mm): For welding tasks of a more compact size.
C-Gun No. 3 (150 × 450 mm | GT): For medium-sized, general-purpose welds.
C-Gun No. 2 (For Wheel Arches): Design optimized specifically for work around wheel arches.
C-Gun with electrode holding mechanism (No. 10): For applications requiring offset welding points (e.g., on the inner sections of wheel arches), featuring a finger-shaped electrode and a flat electrode for easier operation.
C-Gun with electrode holding mechanism (For narrow strips of metal): With concentric electrodes for access into corners.
By purchasing the C-Gun No. 8 (495614), you acquire a high-performance, durable, and precise tool that optimizes resistance spot welding processes even in the most demanding body repair environments.
