In 1946 the Weinberger company was founded in Zürich, Switzerland. Very soon Weinberger became well known as a distributor for industrial cameras and as a specialist for photonics equipment. With the purchase of a license to produce a high speed film camera, the basis for the successful history of Weinberger as manufacturer was set in 1968. The legendary 16mm Stalex camera was born and became the undisputed worldwide market leader. In 1977 Weinberger changed its status from a private company to a public limited company.

 

1991 The first digital high speed camera SpeedCam 256 is introduced. Its specs 256 x 256 pixels at a speed of 250 frames per second (fps) are complemented by SpeedCam 128 and its 128 x 128 pixels at 1000 fps.
1993 SpeedCam +500/+2000 with 530 and 2000 fps respectively are designed and are produced in big numbers.
1995 SpeedCam 512 bringing 512 x 512 pixels at 1000 fps is designed.
1996 The SpeedCam Lite portable system based on SpeedCam +500/+2000 follows. Simple use, reliability and robustness make it a worldwide best-seller.
1997 Weinberger continues its success story with the CCD camera family SpeedCam PRO, LT and G plus. The image format is 512 x 512 pixels at a speed of 1000 fps and color is now available, too.
2001
 Weinberger provides further evidence of its leading position in the technological field with the introduction of its SpeedCam Visario digital high speed CMOS camera system. A new resolution reference level with an image of 1536 x 1024 pixels at a speed of 1000 fps is set. But also the compact dimensions and weight as well as complete communication and control using just one cable has been - and still is - unique in the world of digital high speed cameras.
2002 The SpeedCam Lite portable industrial system is succeeded by the SpeedCam MotionBlitz.
2003
 The SpeedCam Visario 1500 is supplemented by the Visario LT 800 and Visario LT 400 to cover middle to upper performance range.
2003
 With the introduction of the SpeedCam MotionFire in Germany, the smallest autonomous Megapixel high speed camera is presented.
2004 The SpeedCam Visario g2 is announced as being the "next generation" of high speed cameras. The Visario g2 based on the proven Visario sensor adds a Gigabit Ethernet flexibility and several more exciting features.
2004 Weinberger proudly announces the SpeedCam MiniVis, a unique high speed camera that incorporates a Gigabit Ethernet interface inside an extremely small and lightweight camera.
2004 The digital high-end high speed camera Cine SpeedCam - addressed to the broadcasting and movie market - is honored with the STAR Award for the most innovative product on the NAB broadcast convention in Las Vegas.
2005 Weinberger presents the SpeedCam MiniVis based MiniVis ECO model. The new MiniVis ECO high speed digital camera is created as a Non-HI-G camera in contrast to the HI-G rated SpeedCam MiniVis. The variety of exciting features and the perfect price/performance ratio makes it an ideal fit for all applications in the Non-HI-G range.
2006 The Visario g2 is supplemented by the Visario g2 LT 400 to cover middle to upper performance range.
2006 Additionally Weinberger presents the very light sensitive MiniVis e2.
2007 The Visario model family is continued by SpeedCam Visario g3 and new marks in dynamic, frame rate and light sensitivity are established in the upper performance range.
2007 The SpeedCam MacroVis and the SpeedCam MacroVis VLS for high frame rates and for high light sensitivity are introduced addressing use in locations limited by space.
