PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a processing apparatus and a processing method in which a ball screw is used and a movable body is driven to carry out a processing action, that monitor a heating state of a drive mechanism in the middle of processing, and that prevent degradation of processing accuracy due to thermal expansion of the drive mechanism, deterioration of a lubricant, and breakdown of the drive mechanism etc. caused by heat generation of the drive mechanism. ! SOLUTION: The processing apparatus includes: cumulative movement amount detecting means 7 for detecting a cumulative amount of movement of a movable body 1 in a specific direction; cumulative processing time detecting means 6 for detecting cumulative processing time; and determining means 8 for determining whether the cumulative processing time detected by the cumulative processing time detecting means 6 is within a prescribed time, when a prescribed movement amount is detected by the cumulative movement amount detecting means 7. !
