Albert IJspeert has a degree in mechanical engineering and worked for many years at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, located in Geneva,Switzerland
At CERN he developed the superconducting corrector magnets for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In that process he invented the “Diaphragm Technique” used to strongly center and clamp the superconducting coils in these magnets
CERN patented the technique and IJspeert’s company became a spin-off from CERN in order to develop this technique for further industrial applications in fields as different as turbines, electric motors, work holding and profile fixation.
He has a vast experience in: electro-mechanics and magnetism, and this in environments of vacuum and nuclear radiation
Until recently he was also active as an elder in the Mennonite church.
He was one of the three winners of the Swisspor Innovation Contest 2006 thanks to novel ideas using vacuum for the insulation of houses.
IJspeert Technologies won a gold and a silver medal respectively at the 2007 International Exhibition of Inventions at Geneva.
Hanspeter Emil Müller holds a
diploma in electrical engineering (HTL) and has completed a postgraduate degree in business management.
Over many years of working in senior management roles in Switzerland and Germany, he has further developed his knowledge and practical experience in systems engineering alongside his business acumen.
Today, Hanspeter Emil Müller has extensive experience in systems engineering, having implemented a wide range of production lines in sectors such as: the aerospace industry, mould and die making, the jewellery industry, grinding wheel manufacturing, etc.
These optimised production lines for single-part and small-batch manufacturing in low-staffed 24/7 operations incorporate multiple machine tools, robots, parts storage, integrated measurement, as well as cleaning and labelling.
His strength lies in successfully taking a project idea through to the commissioning of the corresponding hardware and software solution. He is aided in this by his keen ability to quickly understand customer needs and translate them into concrete, integrated automation solutions – often employing highly innovative approaches, including vertical data integration into existing ERP systems. His enthusiasm for developing new, innovative solutions in new environments helps him in this work every day.
He has been working with Ijspeert since 2021, when he was looking for a clamping method for turbine blades that would guarantee the precise automatic loading and unloading of blades and be suitable for the mechanical machining of the clamped blade. The aim was to develop and sell a fully automated manufacturing process. Conventional solutions did not allow for this to the desired extent.
