Those systems (Bosch ctrlX FLOW6D, Beckhoff XPlanar, Planar Motor, ABB ACOPOS 6D) all use planar magnetic technology for industrial magnetic levitation and 2D/6D transport of movers on flat surfaces. That's a completely different application from what Tesla is doing.
Tesla's patent focuses on planar, PCB-integrated transformers and inductors specifically for high-power EV onboard chargers and power conversion.
The real innovations are in how they combine transformer resonant inductor into a single shared core structure, add flux-shaping plates to drastically cut fringing-field losses at >100 kHz, use a hybrid pot-core / open geometry for better EMI vs. weight trade-off, and apply several other tricks (4-legged tunable core, overlapping windings, reluctance control, mechanical notching) to enable extreme power density, automated high-volume PCB manufacturing, and major supply-chain simplification (fewer discrete Litz wires, bobbins, etc.).
So it's not just "planar magnetics exist". It's a set of targeted architectural choices optimized for automotive high-frequency power electronics and unboxed-style scaling, quite distinct from industrial mag-lev platforms."This version reads smoothly, avoids dashes, stays respectful, and clearly separates the two domains without sounding defensive.
