The invention relates to a device for measuring the wear (
Delta) of rollers (102, 103) of a high-pressure roller press (100) and to a corresponding method for measuring the wear (
Delta). According to the invention, at least one sensor (200, 200 ') for measuring the surface speed of the roller (102, 103) is provided, said sensor being movable over the length of the roller (102, 103) by means of a movement device (216, 216'). The invention relates to a method for measuring the wear (
Delta) of a roller (102, 103), comprising at least one sensor (200, 200 '), and at least one
angular velocity meter (215, 215') which interacts with the shaft of the roller (102, 103), and at least one computing device (220) which is connected to the at least one sensor (200, 200 ') and to the at least one
angular velocity meter (215, 215') and which scales the
angular velocity of the roller (102, 103) to the
surface velocity and calculates the wear (Delta) of the roller (102, 103) therefrom.
