The necessity for rigorously controlling process variables or making physical measurements is eliminated in a method of manufacturing a flexure for use in connecting a force sensing element to a mounting base in a force transducer where indicator portions are provided in a blank and material is removed uniformly from the blank including indicator portions until the indicator portions disappear. This process can also be used to configure a flexure out of a unitary piece of material such as fused quartz where a blank is masked except for indicator portions on each surface of the blank and at least one other surface portion, material is removed from the nonmasked portions of the blank, and after removing the mask, material is removed from the blank until the indicator portions disappear. |
