Method of making a force measuring body with at least one joint location which separates a region of the force measuring body into two connected sub-regions (11, 12) deflectable relative to one another, wherein the following steps are performed: a) providing a force measuring body blank, b) removal of material at the force measuring body blank by cutting so as to produce the joint location, c) checking whether the deflection behaviour, which is produced by the joint location, of the sub-regions (11, 12) corresponds with or deviates from the specification of a predetermined category of accuracy, wherein c1) the method is ended if the deflection behaviour corresponds with the predetermined specification and c2) step d) is carried out if the deflection behaviour deviates from the predetermined specification, d) checking whether compensation for the deviation can be provided by means of a joint location correction, wherein d1) the steps e) to g) are carried out if compensation can be provided and d2) step h) is carried out if compensation cannot be provided, e) determining a form of correction which is producible by removal of material and which compensates for the deviation from the predetermined specification, f) correction of the joint location geometry on the basis of the form of correction, which was determined in the preceding method step, by means of removal of material by a laser, g) repeated performance of method step c) and h) checking whether the deflection behaviour corresponds with or deviates from the specification of a lower category of accuracy, wherein h1) the force measuring body is categorised in the lower accuracy category and the method is ended if the deflection behaviour corresponds with the lower specification and h2) the force measuring body is categorised as faulty production and the method is ended if the deflection behaviour deviates from the lower specification. a) providing a force measuring body blank, b) removal of material at the force measuring body blank by cutting so as to produce the joint location, c) checking whether the deflection behaviour, which is produced by the joint location, of the sub-regions (11, 12) corresponds with or deviates from the specification of a predetermined category of accuracy, wherein c1) the method is ended if the deflection behaviour corresponds with the predetermined specification and c2) step d) is carried out if the deflection behaviour deviates from the predetermined specification, c1) the method is ended if the deflection behaviour corresponds with the predetermined specification and c2) step d) is carried out if the deflection behaviour deviates from the predetermined specification, d) checking whether compensation for the deviation can be provided by means of a joint location correction, wherein d1) the steps e) to g) are carried out if compensation can be provided and d2) step h) is carried out if compensation cannot be provided, d1) the steps e) to g) are carried out if compensation can be provided and d2) step h) is carried out if compensation cannot be provided, e) determining a form of correction which is producible by removal of material and which compensates for the deviation from the predetermined specification, f) correction of the joint location geometry on the basis of the form of correction, which was determined in the preceding method step, by means of removal of material by a laser, g) repeated performance of method step c) and h) checking whether the deflection behaviour corresponds with or deviates from the specification of a lower category of accuracy, wherein h1) the force measuring body is categorised in the lower accuracy category and the method is ended if the deflection behaviour corresponds with the lower specification and h2) the force measuring body is categorised as faulty production and the method is ended if the deflection behaviour deviates from the lower specification. h1) the force measuring body is categorised in the lower accuracy category and the method is ended if the deflection behaviour corresponds with the lower specification and h2) the force measuring body is categorised as faulty production and the method is ended if the deflection behaviour deviates from the lower specification.
