contents This paper presents a novel seven-channel optical measurement system for monitoring coil parasitic motion and mass position in the Tsinghua Tabletop Kibble balance. The system employs seven spectrally-confocal displacement sensors arranged in a distributed configuration to simultaneously measure the coil's translational ($x_{\rm{c}}, y_{\rm{c}}$), rotational ($θ_x,θ_y$) degrees of freedom, and the mass position offset ($x_{\rm{m}}, y_{\rm{m}}$) due to corner errors. Three vertically oriented sensors target an equilateral triangle target rigidly connected to the coil, enabling real-time calculation of tilt angles through geometric relationships. Two horizontally oriented sensors measure the translational displacement of a frame target on the coil assembly. Two additional horizontal sensors monitor the mass position to quantify corner errors. The initial experimental setup has been completed, featuring sufficient resolution and minimal signal loss, providing a new approach for alignment adjustment and corner error compensation in high-precision Kibble balances.
