Large components are crucial in modern industrial applications, especially for internal gap monitoring and specific assembly methods. This paper examines the assembly of hydroelectric generator rotors and stators, introducing a spatial relative position monitoring system using multiple sensors. A dedicated position monitoring program is designed, and error sources within the system are thoroughly explored. Detailed error analysis and modeling reveal that verticality and angular errors significantly impact monitoring accuracy. To address this, two error control methods are proposed to effectively mitigate these issues, ensuring precise assembly of large components.
