This detailed product description is for the VAS 6545B/8 Electrode Set No. 9presents, which was specifically designed for the VAS 6545B resistance spot welding machine and belongs to the workshop equipment category of Volkswagen AG. This set is the ideal choice for precise and reliable body repair work, especially on hard-to-reach areas.
The VAS 6545B/8 set is a special configuration prepared for welding tasks optimized for the C-Arm No. 1. A key element of the set is the electrode design at a 38° angle which allows access to weld points where standard straight electrodes cannot be used. The set is equipped with 16 mm diameter electrode caps, ensuring efficient current transfer and durable weld quality.
This set is essential in the field of professional body repair technologies as it guarantees weld quality conforming to factory specifications for vehicles of the Volkswagen Group.
The VAS 6545B/8 Electrode Set No. 9 forms a complete unit that includes the necessary welding components and fastening elements.

The 38° angled design is critically important in the repair of modern vehicles where reinforced structural elements and tight spaces are common.
Excellent Accessibility: Enables welding in internal corners and along reinforcements where 90° or straight electrodes would encounter physical obstructions.
Accuracy: The angled electrode ensures that the weld point is created exactly where intended, minimizing the risk of damaging surrounding materials.
Compatibility: Specifically calibrated for the VAS 6545B welding machine C-arm No. 1 unit.
For maximum efficiency and maintenance, Wieländer+Schill offers numerous accessories that can be ideally paired with this electrode set.
These tools help keep the welding system in optimal condition:
Electrode Cap Remover (Electrode caps remover – Part No.: 498003): Special tool for safely loosening and removing stuck or hard-to-remove electrode caps.
Electrode Fixing Paste (Copper paste for electrodes | 75 g – Part No.: 497010): This paste measurably reduces transient resistances between electrode arms and caps, thereby improving conductivity and weld quality.
Electrode Cleaner (Electrode fix | Grain 60 – Part No.: 298298): Keeping welding caps clean is essential to ensure the accuracy of spot welding results. This abrasive effectively removes contaminants.
Electrode Caps (Electrode caps | Ø 16 mm | Type D38° | PU: 6 pcs. – Part No.: 497105): Replacement electrode caps, Type D38° with a diameter of 16 mm and a length of 24 mm, compatible with electrode sets No. 9 and 12.
Sets with different geometries are also available for various welding tasks:
VAS 6545B/6 C-Arm Electrode Holder with Tilting Mechanism (Part No.: 932015NG): This holder features a tilting mechanism and is specifically suitable for welding very narrow metal sheets. The concentric electrodes can reach every corner by pushing the welding point outwards from the center.
VAS 6545B/7 Electrode Set No. 7 | 90° Angle (Part No.: 932016NG): This set contains elements positioned at a 90° angle with 16 mm caps, ideal for straighter or less constricted areas. Includes curved (149 mm) and short curved electrodes.
VAS 6545B/9 Electrode Set No. 11 | 90° Angle (Part No.: 932018NG): Also a 90° angle design with 16 mm caps, but with electrodes of different lengths (28 mm and 121 mm), belonging to the No. 11 set.
This electrode set is part of the Wieländer+Schill professional welding technology offering and is closely linked to the Volkswagen AG Workshop Equipment standards. It is primarily used in body repair shops, authorized dealerships, and by independent specialists who want to meet the highest quality requirements in resistance spot welding.
Important note: Product availability is ensured through official distributors or the local Volkswagen importer.
