Material wrapping system and wrapping a material sheet around a longitudinal component

A method of wrapping a material sheet around a longitudinal component, the method comprising:

• dispensing a first length of a material sheet from a material roll in a material sheet tensioning dispenser onto a work table;
• locking the material sheet tensioning dispenser in a location on the work table;
• positioning a longitudinal component over the first length of the material sheet on the work table;
• locking the material roll within the material sheet tensioning dispenser using a tensioning system to maintain tension on the material sheet;
• positioning a movable carriage such that the longitudinal component is within an operating volume beneath a frame of the movable carriage;
• and
• moving the movable carriage in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal component a first distance towards the material sheet tensioning dispenser to guide at least a portion of the first length of the material sheet around the longitudinal component as the material sheet tensioning dispenser maintains tension on the material sheet.

A material sheet tensioning dispenser comprising:

• a positional lock configured to maintain a position of the material sheet tensioning dispenser relative to a work table;
• a material roll support configured to rotatably support a material roll;
• and
• a tensioning system configured to selectively prevent rotation of a material roll on the material roll support.
