PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process processor for providing an inexpensive and highly precise device without preparing any expensive or highly precise stage, and for reducing the manufacturing costs of a product. SOLUTION: A displacement measurement necessity determination part 17 determines whether or not it is necessary to measure the displacement of an actual position with respect to the target position of a process processing part 3 in a sub-scanning direction 9 based on a predetermined criterion. When it is determined that it is necessary to measure the displacement by the displacement measurement necessity determination part 17, a corrected moving amount calculation part 18 calculates the corrected moving amounts of the sub-scanning direction 9 of the process processing part 3 based on the measured displacement, and when it is determined that it is not necessary to measure the displacement by the displacement measurement determination part 17, calculates the corrected moving amounts of the sub-scanning direction 9 of the process processing part 3 based on the displacement stored in advance. A stage control part 13 controls the movement of the sub-scanning direction 9 of the process processing part 3 according to the corrected moving amounts calculated by the corrected moving amount calculation part 18.
