Pattern method and system for detecting foreign object debris using a fluorescent drilling lubricant

A method of detecting a drill bit, or a portion of a drill bit, displaced from a hole drilling device during a hole drilling operation on a substrate of a system, the method comprising:

• forming a lubricant having a light emitting substance;
• applying said lubricant to the drill bit coupled to the hole-drilling device;
• drilling a hole within the substrate using the hole-drilling device, wherein the process of drilling said hole causes the drill bit or the portion of the drill bit to be displaced from the hole-drilling device, wherein a portion of said lubricant adheres to the drill bit or to the portion of the drill bit;
• illuminating the system with a object illuminator;
• identifying at least one non-fixed object within the system;
• and
• identifying said at least one non-fixed object to be the drill bit or the portion of the drill bit.

A method for detecting and removing foreign object debris created during hole drilling operations in a system from at least one of an automotive vehicle, a machine, an electronic system, and a mechanical system, the method comprising:

• providing a hole drilling device having a drill bit;
• forming a light emitting lubricant having a light emitting substance;
• introducing said light emitting lubricant to said hole drilling device;
• drilling a hole within a substrate with said hole drilling device, wherein the process of drilling said hole creates foreign object debris at least partially coated with said light emitting lubricant, said foreign object debris selected from the group consisting of one or more shavings, one or more portions of said drill bit, and said drill bit;
• illuminating the system with an object illuminator;
• identifying at least one non-member object within the system;
• and
• identifying said at least one non-member object to be said foreign object debris;
• determining whether to remove said foreign object debris;
• and
• removing said foreign object debris.
