Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe article presented for evaluation concerns research on a method of detecting and identifying the wear condition of hollowing machine rollers based on point data. The manuscript submitted for evaluation is prepared carefully contains all the necessary information methodological description results and well-prepared conclusions. The manuscript submitted for evaluation, in my opinion, meets the requirements of the publisher and can be referred for further procedure against publication. Below are some minor comments on the manuscript which, in my opinion, will contribute to its improvement.
Below are a few comments of a questionable nature:
1. for Figure 1, I suggest adding a description of the various components of the desquamation machine so that the recipient of the article will be able to understand the operation and features of the device.
2. Describe the symbols used in Figure 2 (preferably in the figure caption).
3. In the introduction, please clearly state the purpose of your research, and if there was a thesis (or hypothesis) behind it, then also state it as the proposed purpose and scope of your completed research.
4. fig. 5 needs quality improvement.
5. In graph 8, please explain in the caption what Y and N (yes and no) mean.
6. in line 455-456, I would write down that using Pythagoras' theorem, one determines a circle with centers, etc.
Comments on the Quality of English LanguageThe minor editing of English language is required.

Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsI have read this interesting paper on wear detection of rubber rollers based on point cloud data.
It is a rather prototype work which can be published further on. I would like to clarify some aspects of this work.
What is the evolution of the wear process in time ?
Was this work performed only for a specific time interval ?
Is the method applicable over long periods of time so as to detect the evolution of wear on the rollers and prevent it ?
What is the nature of the wear ? Are there any structural changes in the rubber ?
Maybe some comparative micro-photography of the worn surfaces could help here, unless the authors prepare another dedicated work on this.
