To enhance the geometric shape measurement accuracy in super-large ring rolling processes, a staged measurement method was proposed based on multi-source information fusion. This method utilized real-time data from three laser displacement sensors, combining with the characteristics of the rolling feed and rounding-sizing stage, to accurately measure the ring's diameter growth velocity, center offset, and roundness error in distinct phases. Theoretical models for the ring's diameter growth velocity and outer contour roundness errors were established, the formation mechanism of the diameter growth velocity and roundness error of ring were analyzed. By constructing a finite element simulation model of ϕ10 m super large ring rolling in ABAQUS software, the proposed multi-source fusion method was comparatively analyzed against industrial camera imaging and single-point laser measurement, which verified superior accuracy of the proposed method and the influences of the mandrel feed speed on the ring's geometric state were explored. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed by scaled-down rolling experiments, with the outer contour fitting accuracy reaching as 91.7% in the final rolling stages.
